Same exact equipment as mine but different colors. I'm leaning toward Smoke Quartz over White Sands/Espresso. I'm considering the THX system, too. It sucks that I'll have a portable GPS stuck to the windshield, but I have yet to find a factory GPS that works for sh!t, although I've heard good things about Chrysler's U Connect.
Those wheels might not be a standalone option. I wouldn't be surprised if you have to pony up for the Black Label package to get them. That would certainly explain why they aren't up on the configurator yet. I hope I'm wrong.

I'l probably make the final decision on THX in the dealership. I'd like to have some seat time with the upgraded system and the stocker side by side. If there is a noticeable difference I will certainly take the upgrade, we'll see...
the BL option is not going to available until after 1st of year (2015) and only in test markets LA, Chicago, Dallas, NYC and Miami. these are the tentative locations.."
I know for a fact they will try to milk people as much as they can until sales start dying down, then when they need something to boost sales....expect discounts

Good news ... the 20" wheels are shown in the dealer's Package Guide as a standalone option on the 2.3L AWD in Reserve trim. I scanned the guide, but it's way too large to upload.
The Sales Manager expects discounts to be minimal - maybe a $1,000 or a little more initially. It looks like average discounts on the MKZ are still around $1,500 after all this time on the market, so that certainly makes sense. Assuming the MKC has a successful launch with few mechanical issues, selling the car closer to MSRP should help the car maintain higher resale values. Everybody likes a discount, but it doesn't do us a lot of good if the resale value drops accordingly. Overall ownership cost is far more important to me than acquisition cost. They are currently running 0% APR for up to 60 months, which is a great incentive that won't negatively affect resale values.

Thanks HotRod! Any chance you could snap a photo for us? Hi res scans would be nice but anythings better than nothing Did you try uploading to say photobucket or even Tumblr?
Since that car appears to be production trim, I think that is the Ruby Red. you should be able to get that exact configuration. I love the red, but I have to use my car for business and I'm not sure I want to be that bold. But then again ...

the business of the future is to be dangerous dripping ruby red may not scream DANGEROUS but it does say I'm a risk taker, I'm bold and I understand my own power. At least thats what I think...
I thought maybe that particular red could be a Black Label exclusive hue. But there have been no indications that Black Label will have their own colors. It must be Ruby Red.

Depends on what kind of business you run.
If you want to keep it corporate and professional, black is always a good way to go. But if you can justify red, go with it.
Not unprofessional, just attention-getting. I'm in sales. I need to look professional, but a certain amount of discretion is required when I pull up to see a customer. The goal is to have customers respect me, and not think I'm overcharging them. White, silver or gray tends to blend in to the point where customers won't give it a second look. Red ... well, not so much. I also spend a fair amount of time in rough neighborhoods, so I could do without the virtual bullseye. It's one of many reasons I'm looking to unload the BMW - the bright blue BMW. It's also why Mercedes, Range Rover, Audi and Lexus probably won't make the cut regardless of color. The MKC, Grand Cherokee, 2015 Edge, 2015 Outback or 2015 Murano all offer luxury features without being overly garish. It kills me to say it, but I'm actually starting to like the Highlander, too. It's bigger than I need, but it might be worth a test drive.

LOL So I went to Carmax to get an offer for the car. They offered $26K....for a $46800 MSRP.
I was looking at Rangers and the Ford Lincoln Dealer offered me $36K Everyone else $25K. this for a car with a residual of $28K in two years!! LOL That's why I would never buy a Lincoln new or used...

This is my Lincoln I traded. They are selling at $9K under MSRP......... They gave me $35K.
Made the decision to lease the 2.3 MKC (fully loaded, Tech Pkg, Climate Pkg, 20" wheels, THX) this coming November and am starting my search for a Lincoln dealer in the South Florida area. I have visited four dealerships and am appalled at the stale and morgue like welcome from all four. Coming...
Hello everyone,
My lease on my current car is up in about a month, and new car shopping is on the way. I hate the dealership, and I hate negotiating prices at dealers..but I love new cars!
I try to find as much information as possible on pricing, etc. before walking into a dealership with...
This may not translate well but below is the web address where you just type in your VIN number after the "=". It doesn't always show your window sticker-- I am unsure why. So don't repost here if it didn't work for you and expecting me to get it to work for you.
I used this for purchasing a...
